Stop Hunger Now

by Charlie Phillips

Nope.  Not a funny hat convention.  The 'Stop Hunger Now' event on Saturday April 21 packaged 37,800 meals with 100 participating volunteers. We had Dave Worker and Charlie Phillips and 12 Key Clubbers participating during the 9-11 AM first shift.

Dave Worker (above picture) worked as a food source supplier and runner for a solid two hours. The Key Clubbers served as food packagers, runners, and food weighers and packet sealers.

Each food packet consists of a packet of vitamins, enriched dried vegetables, soy meal and rice. The packet weighs approximately 380 grams, supplies 6 meals when 6 cups of hot water is added and costs 25 cents per meal.

The 100 volunteers put together 6,300 packets that will provides 37,800 meals. The overhead to sponsor the event for one shift is approximately $9,450 or about $25,000 for the day.

Key Club News

Jayna Stella

Our major event of the week was 'The Stop Hunger Now' food packaging event. All told we had 12 Key Club members participate including nearly all the Board members (above picture). The experience was amazing to watch about 100 people of all ages work together to fill food packets and pack into boxes ready ship. In two hours the volunteers pack about 6,300 food packets or over 37,800 meals.

To start off this successful week, we had one of our best board meetings we have ever had. We learned the true meaning of Key Club from our two key clubbers Lauren Lee and Marissa Kuriki , who for the first time in known Brea Key Club history, attended the Key Club District Convention

We also discussed ways to fundraise for next years DCON starting now. They brought back new ideas that will help us organize better and make the club stronger.

Marissa also attended the monthly Kiwanis DCM dinner meeting with five other Brea Kiwanis Club members. Thank you for all your help and support!!


Key Club Meetings

Upon arrival at the school, check in at the Front Desk of the Admin Office and ask for a visit request during school hours; you sign a visit request for that day.  There is visitor parking just outside the Admin offices near the flag pole and around the back near the new building.


Feed the Seniors

Remember, on the second Wednesday of each month, members of our club descend upon the Brea Senior Center to serve lunch to the seniors who have come to dine.  Before you leave, make sure all your fellow Kiwanians leave with you.
